Bøker av Michio Kaku

Imagine a future where we are not alone - where our universe is just one of countless parallel worlds, some strangely familiar, some almost unimaginable. This title takes us to the frontiers of scientific knowledge to explain the nature - and future - of our universe.

We all wish we could predict the future, but most of us don't know enough about the science that makes it possible. This title is a hypothetical journey through the next 100 years of scientific innovation, as told by the scientists who are making it happen.

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of The Future of the Mind by Michio Kaku, The international bestselling author of Physics of the Impossible. Read by the actor Feodor Chin. Recording memories, mind reading, videotaping our dreams, mind control, avatars, and telekinesis - no longer are these feats of the mind solely the province of overheated science fiction. As Michio Kaku reveals, not only are they possible, but with the latest advances in brain science and recent astonishing breakthroughs in technology, they already exist. In The Future of the Mind, the New York Times-bestselling author takes us on a stunning, provocative and exhilarating tour of the top laboratories around the world to meet the scientists who are already revolutionising the way we think about the brain - and ourselves.

In paperback for the centenary of the discovery of relativity, "a fresh and highly visual tour through Einstein's astonishing legacy" (Brian Greene).

Physics of the Impossible takes us on a journey to the frontiers of science and beyond, giving us an exhilarating insight into what we can really hope to achieve in the future.Everyday we see that what was once declared 'impossible' by scientists has become part of our everyday lives: fax machines, glass sky-scrapers, gas-powered automobiles and a worldwide communications network. Here internationally bestselling author Micho Kaku confidently hurdles today's frontier of science, revealing the actual possibilities of perpetual motion, force fields, invisibility, ray guns, anti-gravity and anti-matter, teleportation, telepathy, psychokinesis, robots and cyborgs, time travel, zero-point energy, even extraterrestrial life. And he shows how few of these ideas actually violate the laws of physics. Where does the realm of science fiction end? What can we really hope to achieve? 'Anything that is not impossible, is mandatory!' declares Kaku in this lucid, entertaining and enlightening read.

"The best-selling author of The God Equation turns his attention to humanity's next great technological advancement--quantum computing, which could change every aspect of our daily lives by solving some of our greatest challenges, from climate change to world hunger to incurable diseases"--

A FASCINATING EXPLORATION OF THE SCIENCE OF THE IMPOSSIBLE-FROM DEATH RAYS AND FORCE FIELDS TO INVISIBILITY CLOAKS-REVEALING TO WHAT EXTENT SUCH TECHNOLOGIES MIGHT BE ACHIEVABLE DECADES OR MILLENNIA INTO THE FUTURE. ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO, SCIENTISTS WOULD HAVE SAID THAT LASERS, TELEVISIONS, AND THE ATOMIC BOMB WERE BEYOND THE REALM OF PHYSICAL POSSIBILITY. IN PHYSICS OF THE IMPOSSIBLE, THE RENOWNED PHYSICIST MICHIO KAKU EXPLORES TO WHAT EXTENT THE TECHNOLOGIES AND DEVICES OF SCIENCE FICTION THAT ARE DEEMED EQUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TODAY MIGHT WELL BECOME COMMONPLACE IN THE FUTURE. FROM TELEPORTATION TO TELEKINESIS, KAKU USES THE WORLD OF SCIENCE FICTION TO EXPLORE THE FUNDAMENTALS-AND THE LIMITS-OF THE LAWS OF PHYSICS AS WE KNOW THEM TODAY. HE RANKS THE IMPOSSIBLE TECHNOLOGIES BY CATEGORIES-CLASS I, II, AND III, DEPENDING ON WHEN THEY MIGHT BE ACHIEVED, WITHIN THE NEXT CENTURY, MILLENNIA, OR PERHAPS NEVER. IN A COMPELLING AND THOUGHT-PROVOKING NARRATIVE, HE EXPLAINS: - HOW THE SCIENCE OF OPTICS AND ELECTROMAGNETISM MAY ONE DAY ENABLE US TO BEND LIGHT AROUND AN OBJECT, LIKE A STREAM FLOWING AROUND A BOULDER, MAKING THE OBJECT INVISIBLE TO OBSERVERS "DOWNSTREAM" - HOW RAMJET ROCKETS, LASER SAILS, ANTIMATTER ENGINES, AND NANOROCKETS MAY ONE DAY TAKE US TO THE NEARBY STARS - HOW TELEPATHY AND PSYCHOKINESIS, ONCE CONSIDERED PSEUDOSCIENCE, MAY ONE DAY BE POSSIBLE USING ADVANCES IN MRI, COMPUTERS, SUPERCONDUCTIVITY, AND NANOTECHNOLOGY - WHY A TIME MACHINE IS APPARENTLY CONSISTENT WITH THE KNOWN LAWS OF QUANTUM PHYSICS, ALTHOUGH IT WOULD TAKE AN UNBELIEVABLY ADVANCED CIVILIZATION TO ACTUALLY BUILD ONE KAKU USES HIS DISCUSSION OF EACH TECHNOLOGY AS A JUMPING-OFF POINT TO EXPLAIN THE SCIENCE BEHIND IT. AN EXTRAORDINARY SCIENTIFIC ADVENTURE, PHYSICS OF THE IMPOSSIBLE TAKES READERS ON AN UNFORGETTABLE, MESMERIZING JOURNEY INTO THE WORLD OF SCIENCE THAT BOTH ENLIGHTENS AND ENTERTAINS. आज जे तंत्रज्ञान अशक्य वाटतं आहे, ते कदाचित येत्या काही दशकांत अथवा शतकांमध्ये अगदी नेहमीच्या वापरातलं होऊन जाईल, या मध्यवर्ती संकल्पनेवर आधारित पुस्तक आहे - अशक्य भौतिकी. हे पुस्तक तीन विभागांत विभागलेलं आहे. पहिला भाग आहे, क्लास-१ अशक्यता. ज्यात टेलिपोर्टेशन, अँटिमॅटर इंजिन्स, काही प्रकारची टेलिपथी, सायकोकायनेसिस आणि अदृश्यता यांचा समावेश आहे. हे तंत्
